As I type this, Ms. Harris has just given her oath of office.
So, history has been made: the first female elected VP, the first black elected VP, the first person with south-Asian ancestry elected VP, and if I recall correctly the first VP to have received a university education outside of the USA.
The last one's the important one, of course - she has a worldview that wasn't formed inside the USA "echo chamber".
EDIT: And now Mr. Biden is giving his oath. Old white American-educated male - nothing groundbreaking there.
